MSF AUSTRALIA | BANGLADESH 2022

MSF provided basic and specialist healthcare to address some of the immense health needs of Rohingya refugees living in the Cox’s Bazar camps and the needs of the Bangladeshi community, in a 46-bed hospital and two outpatient clinics and via outreach teams. Our care included inpatient treatment of intensive care patients, and of patients with scabies and dengue during outbreaks of those diseases. Our outpatient clinics focused on treatment for chronic diseases, sexual and reproductive healthcare and mental health. We also provided hepatitis C care and developed a national hepatitis C protocol in collaboration with the Ministry of Health, and ran a COVID-19 vaccination campaign. Our teams referred neonatal and maternity patients to other MSF and non-MSF facilities.
